Walk. Ride. Bike. Skate. How will you participate?
Active transportation not only improves our health and well being, it also improves air quality and reduces impacts of climate change.
Research also shows that physical activity improves attention span, concentration at work and academic achievement. Driving our kids to and from school may be robbing them of an important source of daily physical activity.
Shoulder check; use hand signals; don’t ride on the sidewalk or too close to the curb to correct common commuting mistake. Practice these tips to keep safe on the road.
Whether cycling or walking to school, a child will develop physical, decision-making and social skills that will benefit them throughout their life.
Improve your health and air quality by cycling to school, work, and where ever you need to go!
